Happy Birthday Earth!

6014 years old at sunset today and doesn't look a day over 4.6 billion.

Have some cake:

Happy Birthday, good buddy.

P.S. How could you have a birthday if there were no days before your birth?

Therefore God.

Coincidentally, I am headed to the Grand Canyon later this afternoon, so I can see the erosional effects of da fludde, watch the full moon rise over the canyon, and celebrate the world's birthday in style!

Must have been a rough 6000 years; looks more like billions.  Maybe a little less time in the sun would be good.

Not to hijack the thread, but while the Grand Canyon might be nice, after all it's just a freaking big hole in the ground!  Now, give me something on a coast, with a nice sand beach, and a drink with a parasol...

And happy birthday world*, and thanks for including big holes and sand beaches, and alchohol, slightly chilled.

Isn't the ocean just a freaking bigger hole full of water?

They're both nice, but I prefer a good book in the shade under a tree.

Fringe?  The Wardrobe points to him being a Lewisite of the Narnianist Sect.

Yes, but the wardrobe connects to a parallel universe...and "encased in earwax" is as Fringe as it gets.

Ah, then I'll take your word for it.  I watched one episode of Fringe, thought it was so-so science fiction (I was hoping for a more x-files show rather than an alternate-Earth series - the cybernetics gave that away), and have not watched any more.  Seeing the coming attractions has actually lessened my desire to watch the show.

It isn't. I come bringing the TRUTH, brother. All Hail the Ineffable Wardrobe.

Say, is that your wallet over there? The Church of the Ineffable Wardrobe needs a new spire you know. Nice house you got here. Lots of expensive stuff that would look bad covered in ear wax. Just sayin', no connection to anything. I guess me and my associates will be going now. That is unless....

Fringe was downright silly the first season (it began life as a "weird event of the week" show) and I lost interest - they were very slow to disclose (or cook up) the parallel universes backstory. It's actually hit its stride this season and has become more interesting and clever.

So, is there more information in a cake recipe for a cake the size of the world?
